Broadway Revival of Rocky Horror Show Struggles to Keep its Ghoulish Spark

Broadway’s third Rocky Horror Show revival at Studio 54 opens with fanfare but quickly sags as Sam Pinkleton’s staging grows abstract and the pacing becomes unfocused, delivering an uneven experience; Luke Evans brings punch in the music but is wary with Frank-n-Furter’s dialogue, Stephanie Hsu and Rachel Dratch offer flashes of charm, while Eddie is underheard and the production largely serves nostalgia rather than minting new fans.

Hypnotic Reckoning: Lane and Metcalf Revive Death of a Salesman on Broadway

Joe Mantello’s Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman, anchored by Nathan Lane’s hypnotic Willy and Laurie Metcalf’s lucid Linda, uses minimalist, period-agnostic design to sharpen Miller’s meditation on the American Dream and white entitlement; the three-hour tragedy is haunting and timely, with Lane’s brassy virtuosity and Metcalf’s precise humanity turning the familiar tale into a stark, modern mirror.

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter Shine in Broadway Revival of Waiting for Godot

The Broadway revival of Samuel Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot' starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter offers visually striking staging and moments of genuine friendship but ultimately underwhelms in capturing the play's profound existential angst, relying more on novelty casting than deep emotional or thematic exploration.

Michael Arden's Censored Tony Awards Speech Champions Jewish and LGBTQ Communities.

Michael Arden won his first Tony Award for directing the Broadway revival of "Parade," a musical about the lynching of Leo Frank by an antisemitic mob. In his acceptance speech, Arden called out homophobia and other forms of intolerance, recalling how he had been called a homophobic slur as a child. He also drew cheers for reclaiming the slur and urged people to keep raising their voices. Arden's revival of "Parade" emphasizes the love story between Leo and Lucille Frank, played by Ben Platt and Micaela Diamond. Platt's wordless presence during the intermission has also been a talked-about feature of the production.
